'63 Cadillac battery cables

Posted on November 18, 2013 at 2:51pm 3 Comments

Hello everyone,

Want to check my understanding of the battery cable hook up for my '63 Cadillac.

I have the negative cable connected to the negative post... then bolts to the frame just below the battery.

The positive cable connects to the pos post and then to the starter connection.     Also the felt washers are to be soaked in oil before installation onto the bat posts per the shop manual... anyone do this anymore?

pertronix being considered

Posted on September 2, 2013 at 8:30pm 5 Comments

Hello everyone, I am considering the install of the basic pertronix unit, but wanted to ask if its required to remove the distributor from the engine to add the spacer above the gear at the bottom of the shaft? If yes why does this have to be done?

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great!

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
